Major U.S. stock indexes started June on a strong note, helped by a rally in technology stocks led by Nvidia (NVDA) after the AI chipmaker unveiled a new chip for personal computers. The Nasdaq, the S&P 500, and the Dow Jones rose 0.6%, 0.4%, and 0.1%, respectively. All three hit new intraday and closing records to start June after a strong May that ended with the S&P 500 on a nine‑week winning streak.

In key economic reports due today, job openings for April will be made public. Also, Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack is scheduled to speak on Tuesday.

Further, traders look forward to earnings from Dollar General (DG), Victoria's Secret (VSCO), Palo Alto Networks (PANW), and Ulta Beauty (ULTA).

European stocks traded higher on Tuesday as investors bought the recent dip and continued to monitor developments in the Middle East.
